Yeah. Totally agree there mate.
I've just posted a simple(ish) Base Gravy.
From your previous posts I know you are a serious curry person who loves his spices etc. And I hope you like what you see. I believe 'less is sometimes more' in the basics, especially when starting out? Especially when curries can be Jazzed up at the end! ie. Garam Masala, spiced oil, more or less fresh Chilli, Ginger, Garlic, spices onions, Onions, Methi, tomatoes, Coriander, Peppers etc. I think last minute additions can give a fresher taste in the final dish. But not always.
